Otter To Name Lt. Gov. Tuesday

Item: Tuesday marks change for Idaho's leadership: New congressional delegation will consider massive spending on public works, feasibility of new dams, public lands protection/Idaho Statesman

More Info: Gov. Butch Otter will announce Idaho's next lieutenant governor Tuesday - a day of some pretty big changes among Idaho leaders. Otter's pick to replace sitting Lt. Gov. and Sen.-elect Jim Risch is a hot topic among Idaho lawmakers as the Legislature prepares to deal with a sluggish state economy and falling tax revenues. Risch and Democratic Rep.-elect Walt Minnick will be sworn into office Tuesday as Congress reconvenes to talk about an economic stimulus package and other issues, including a massive lands bill that has Idaho impacts.

Question: Who would you like to see become the next Idaho lieutenant governor?
